Zucchini Turkey Breakfast Skillet with plant-based option included

Are you getting enough protein at breakfast?

Did you know that one large egg has only 6 grams of protein?

Depending on some factors you may need to eat 4 eggs to get your minimum amount of protein in the morning!

Starting your day with a good dose of protein (before 10am) can:

reduce evening cravings
improve your sleep
stabilize your blood sugar
calm your nervous system
make you feel fuller

Are you struggling to get the macronutrients you need? Maybe you feel all over the place with your meals? I know the feeling!

But before you go drop your kids off at school, I couldn't help but leave you with a high-protein breakfast recipe. This one-pan recipe takes 20 minutes and can feed you for days. One serving has 37 grams of protein and 3 grams of fiber.

Zucchini Turkey Breakfast Skillet (plant-based option included)

Ingredients for 4 servings:

2 tsps Coconut Oil

1 1/3 lbs Extra Lean Ground Turkey (use lentils instead for plant-based option)

2 2/3 Zucchini (large, finely diced)

1 1/3 cups Salsa (use crushed tomatoes if no salsa)

4 Eggs (add extra eggs for more protein or omit altogether)

Sea Salt & Black Pepper (to taste)

For more greens: Stir in baby spinach or kale right after you add the salsa. Stir until wilted.

For more fiber: Add in cooked black beans.

Directions:

Add the coconut oil to a large skillet and place over medium heat.

Cook the ground turkey, breaking it up as it cooks through. Once it starts to brown, stir in the zucchini. Continue to saute until the zucchini has softened (about 3 - 5 minutes).

Add the salsa to the skillet and stir well to mix.

Use a spoon to create pockets for the eggs. Crack an egg into each pocket and cover the skillet with a lid. Let the eggs cook until done to your liking (3 to 5 minutes).

Divide onto plates and season with sea salt and black pepper to taste. Add hot sauce if you'd like some heat.

Leftovers; for best results, refrigerate the turkey/zucchini mixture separate from the eggs in an airtight container for up to three days. When reheating, add the eggs just before serving.

Enjoy!

Seed cycling for hormonal balance

Have you been struggling with heavy periods, migraines, sleep issues, cramps, or night sweats to name a few??? These seed & nut mixes may be the tool for you. When I first heard about seed cycling I thought it sounded very crunchy and hard to do. Then I realized I already eat some of these nuts and seeds. It was just a matter of planning which ones when. How does it work? It's fairly straightforward. The seed hulls contain lignans, which are chemicals that help bind up excess hormones, while the seed oils contain essential fatty acids that provide the building blocks for making hormones. Seed cycle is including different seeds during the different phases of your menstrual cycle. How long does it take to work? It may take a 3-4 months to notice a change so don't give up right away. If you don’t see an improvement after 3-4 months, consider reaching out to chat with me about additional help in balancing your hormones. Below are two recipes that are super delicious & ...

Warm & Cozy Fall Recipe

It was Easter weekend Spring 2021. My family and I were camping in our pandemic purchased used RV on a horse farm in upstate New York. The temps dropped to the low 20’s that night and our furnace wouldn’t work. We were freezing. We snuggled together all night to stay warm. Our pancakes and hot coffee the next morning never felt so cozy. The trip was salvaged. Here is a recipe that will make you feel just as warm and cozy (from the comforts of your home). The rest of my family agrees. P.S. It’s dairy-free, gluten-free, & vegan. Enjoy with your favorite ice cream:) Schedule a free chat with me here .
